What good does this do?

People 25 years ago lived at the end of the first oil crisis. They didn't do a fuckin' thing and, indeed, did things to only worsen the situation.

So people of today will do diddley tomorrow; assuming they survive. We had our chance 25 years ago.

3. Sure we did something....
We closed more than half of our refineries. :sarcasm: Wasn't that what we were supposed to do?

5. And you know what they did - they started buying smaller cars
that got better gas mileage.

Now we're clamoring to buy the biggest SUV out there even though we'll complain about how expensive the gas is.
